2017 Nissan Altima

Highlight of the new Altima will be a new look. Designers are planning to launch it redesigned, with more sporty appearance after receiving a lot of negative critics. It is likely for 2017 Nissan Altima and new Sentra to share platforms, so many features and solutions could be similar. Last few improvements were made on infotainment system and fuel economy with V6 engine. For 2016 there could be such similar modifications since mid-cycle refresh is planned, while new generation has not started its developing yet. However, this mid-size sedan was pretty popular in recent years, so the same is expected form 2017 Altima.

2017 Nissan Altima redesign

There is still too much time before 2017 Nissan Altima comes out of the factories, and its designer could make a lot changes on it by then. However, exterior shouldn’t take too many changes and modifications. Expected refreshments are on wheels, lamps and bumper. Overall dimensions will be similar, since same platform is used again. What is expected is less use of chrome on front. Hood and roof could get some new visual appearance. Inside, latest Nissan Connect infotainment system will be installed for sure. Overall space could be enlarged with new layout and repositioning of interior equipment.
